Product details
Overview
MAX1724EZK50+T from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output 5.0V, high-efficiency step-up DC-DC converter in a 5-pin TSOT package, featuring 1.5μA quiescent current, 0.91V guaranteed startup voltage, ±1% output voltage accuracy, and integrated synchronous rectification. It is designed for single-cell battery-powered devices requiring ultra-low power consumption and minimal board space, such as remote wireless transmitters and personal medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1724EZK50+T datasheet, MAX1724EZK50+T pinout, MAX1724EZK50+T application, or MAX1724EZK50+T equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 5.0V output, 0.8V–5.5V input range, active-low shutdown with 0.01μA shutdown current, internal EMI suppression, and TSOT package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX1724EZK50+T employs a forced discontinuous, current-limited pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control scheme with no external oscillator, enabling ultra-low quiescent current and high light-load efficiency. Its internal N-channel power switch (0.5Ω RDS(ON)) and P-channel synchronous rectifier eliminate the need for an external Schottky diode.
A dedicated damping switch on the BATT pin suppresses inductor ringing and reduces EMI without impacting output ripple. Startup is guaranteed down to 0.91V at +25°C with resistive load, powered directly from the BATT pin - a feature distinguishing it from the MAX1723 and enabling reliable operation from deeply discharged alkaline/NiMH cells.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable rail for 5V logic or analog circuitry without external feedback components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5.5V - supports operation from one alkaline/NiMH cell (down to near-dead state) or single Li+ cell. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5μA into OUT - maximizes battery life in always-on, low-duty-cycle applications like remote sensors. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01μA at +25°C - enables true zero-power standby when SHDN is pulled low. |
| Startup Voltage | 0.91V minimum at +25°C - guarantees reliable turn-on even with weak or aging primary cells. |
| Max Output Current | Up to 150mA at VIN = 1.5V, VOUT = 5.0V - sufficient for driving RF modules, small displays, or microcontroller peripherals. |
| Efficiency | Up to 90% at mid-load - achieved via synchronous rectification and optimized PFM control, reducing thermal stress and extending runtime. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1724EZK50+T is housed in a 5-pin Thin SOT (TSOT) package (0.9mm typical height, 2.0mm × 2.1mm footprint), optimized for ultra-compact portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BATT | Battery input and damping switch connection | Primary power input path; integrates damping switch to suppress LX ringing and reduce EMI without external components. |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control input | Logic-level input (VIL ≤ 75mV, VIH ≥ 500mV); pulls device into sub-0.01μA shutdown mode when grounded. |
| GND | Analog and power ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane for noise immunity. |
| OUT | Regulated power output and bootstrap supply | Delivers fixed 5.0V output; also powers internal gate drivers - requires local 10μF ceramic decoupling. |
| LX | Switch node connecting internal N-FET drain and P-FET drain | High-frequency switching node; connects to external 10μH inductor - trace must be short and wide to minimize EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count, board area, and conduction losses by replacing ~0.3V diode drop with <0.2V MOSFET RDS(ON) loss. |
| Integrated damping switch | Actively clamps LX ringing during discontinuous conduction - cuts radiated EMI by >10dB without degrading efficiency or output ripple. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.5μA supply current enables >1-year battery life in 10μA average-load applications using two AA alkaline cells. |
| Guaranteed low-voltage startup | 0.91V startup threshold allows operation from batteries depleted below 1.0V - critical for long-life disposable medical or sensor devices. |
| Fixed 5.0V output | No external feedback resistors required - simplifies layout, improves production yield, and eliminates resistor tolerance drift from output regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1724ELT50+T | Same electrical specs and functionality, but in 6-pin µDFN (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) package - larger footprint, lower profile, different pinout (LX and N.C. swapped). | Preferred where thermal dissipation or board-side component stacking is prioritized over minimal X-Y area. | Select MAX1724ELT50+T only if µDFN land pattern and assembly capability are available; not pin-compatible with MAX1724EZK50+T. |
| TPS61200DRCT | Fixed 5.0V output, 1.8μA quiescent current, 0.3V startup, no integrated damping switch; uses external diode in some configurations. | Better suited for higher-input-voltage scenarios (>1.8V) where EMI suppression is less critical and cost-per-watt is prioritized. | Choose TPS61200DRCT only when board layout allows external diode placement and EMI filtering; lacks MAX1724EZK50+T's 0.91V startup guarantee and damping switch. |
Compared with MAX1724ELT50+T, the MAX1724EZK50+T offers superior board-area efficiency in ultra-thin designs; compared with TPS61200DRCT, it delivers significantly lower startup voltage and built-in EMI mitigation - making it the preferred choice for single-cell primary battery systems demanding maximum runtime and regulatory compliance.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum startup voltage for MAX1724EZK50+T?
The MAX1724EZK50+T guarantees startup at 0.91V (minimum) at +25°C with resistive load, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This is enabled by its dedicated BATT-pin-powered startup circuit - a key differentiator from the MAX1723, which requires an external Schottky diode for sub-1.2V startup. The MAX1724EZK50+T maintains this capability across its full -40°C to +85°C operating range, with typical startup voltage rising to ~0.95V at -40°C.
Does MAX1724EZK50+T require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No, the MAX1724EZK50+T does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed-output variant delivering 5.0V ±1% over temperature and line, as specified in the Selector Guide and Electrical Characteristics tables. Unlike the adjustable MAX1722/MAX1723, the MAX1724EZK50+T integrates internal feedback - eliminating resistor matching errors, board space, and long-term drift concerns associated with external dividers.
What package type and pin count does MAX1724EZK50+T use?
The MAX1724EZK50+T uses a 5-pin Thin SOT (TSOT) package, with outline number 21-0113 and land pattern 90-0241. Pin configuration is BATT (1), SHDN (2), GND (3), FB (4), OUT (5), and LX (not present - unlike µDFN variants). This compact 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.9mm package is optimized for high-density portable PCBs and is distinct from the 6-pin µDFN version (MAX1724ELT50+T).
How does the damping switch in MAX1724EZK50+T reduce EMI?
The damping switch in the MAX1724EZK50+T is connected internally to the BATT pin and activates during the off-time of the LX node to dissipate resonant energy from the inductor-capacitor tank. As shown in Figures 5 and 6 of the datasheet, this suppresses high-frequency ringing at LX by >10dB without affecting output ripple or efficiency - directly addressing EMI compliance challenges in compact battery-powered devices without requiring additional ferrite beads or RC snubbers.
What is the shutdown current specification for MAX1724EZK50+T?
The MAX1724EZK50+T specifies a shutdown current of 0.01μA (maximum) at +25°C and 0.01μA (maximum) at +85°C, measured into the BATT pin per Note 4 in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low shutdown current enables true zero-power standby in applications like emergency beacons or tamper-detection sensors, where years of shelf life and instantaneous wake-up are required - outperforming many competing boost converters by an order of magnitude.
